Depending on the board of nursing in your state (Texas), there may be additional requirements to become a prescriber after you complete your APRN program. For example, those who are being licensed/practicing in California are required to take an additional 3-hour pharmacology course for prescribing privileges. Describe the necessary steps required, for your state, in order to become a prescriber? Hypothetically, after you have completed these steps, you decide to celebrate on a family vacation in a different state. Your sister asks you to refill her levothyroxine because she forgot to pack her medication. What are the legal and ethical implications in your state as a new prescriber?
